The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is rising. It is the 5th leading cause of death for people aged 65 years or older in the US and the 6th leading cause of death overall.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will fund health departments of states, political subdivisions of states, Indian tribes and tribal organizations to develop systematic approaches to improve the public health approach to Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia: the 2018-2023 Road Map, as well as the Road Map for Indian Country (RM series) as a framework.
This NOFO carries out actions from the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act PL115-406.
The activities under this NOFO align with the topics of the RM series and serve to develop a strong public health approach to ADRD, including risk reduction (primary prevention), early diagnosis of ADRD (secondary prevention), prevention of comorbidities and avoidable hospitalizations (tertiary prevention), using data for priority setting and action, and support for caregiving for persons with dementia, including addressing social determinants of health.
Applicants can apply for either Core Capacity or Enhanced awards. Core Capacity awards are intended for applicants who need additional planning time to develop infrastructure and ADRD strategic plans. Enhanced awards are intended for applicants who are ready to begin implementation and already have infrastructure and an ADRD strategic plan in place.
Funding Opportunity Number: CDC-RFA-DP20-2004. Assistance Listing: 93. 334.
Funding Instrument: CA. Category: HL. Award Amount: $150K – $500K per award.

CDC is providing funds to both underserved populations with no or limited infrastructure, as well as higher capacity public health departments in order to best meet the objectives of the BOLD Act (PL 115-406). This criteria ensures that CDC is able to fund two different levels of support, Core capacity and Enhanced. This criteria will encourage Enhanced applicants to demonstrate they have the existing infrastructure to conduct higher-level implementation activities. Cost sharing or matching funds are required. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.

In collaboration with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state and federally funded programs, you will implement a project focused on reducing chronic disease rates within a defined geographic area within four communities: Lake County, Indiana; Sandusky and Toledo metro area, Ohio; Brownsville, Texas; Petersburg, Virginia. The goal is to demonstrate how individual and system-level interventions can encourage healthier habits and choices that can reduce the burden of chronic disease in children. When these lifestyle and community changes are maintained over time, reductions in the burden of chronic diseases among adults in the United States may eventually result.Findings from these demonstration programs will inform the potential replication of successful interventions in additional communities.Additionally, HHS will use findings from this demonstration project to inform future approaches to funding and measuring effects of novel efforts to improve health for individuals and communities.

The FY2026 Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program supports basic research in science and engineering at U.S. institutions of higher education, with emphasis on multidisciplinary research where more than one traditional discipline interacts. The Army, Navy, and Air Force basic research offices are seeking applications across 22 topic areas including artificial intelligence and autonomy, information sensing and processing, and systems manipulation. MURI grants typically provide $1.25 million to $1.5 million per year for three years with option to extend two additional years. Approximately $170 million in total funding is available annually across all topics. The program is administered through the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Army Research Office (ARO), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR).
